Josh Beckett’s Colorful 2009 Season
Posted by Kevin Dame
Hi there. Here's a visual portrait (both figuratively and literally) of Josh Beckett's 2009 season. Sort of a blend of pop art and the baseball box score.
Some notes (for those curious):
First, I'm using red to indicate a quality start (min 6 IP, 3 ER or less). Sometimes I wonder about the notion of a "quality start," though. I think I'm more impressed by an 8 inning 4 ER start than a 6 inning 3 ER start. Second, for partial innings completed I rounded down (just to keep the graphic simple).
"The commonality between science and art is in trying to see profoundly - to develop strategies of seeing and showing." - Edward Tufte.

How about using a whole palette of colors, tied to Bill James’ Game Scores? Then you could use size, shape, etc., to show other things; e.g., IP, Wins, Innings, Runs, etc.
